The history and production of coconut vodka

As manufacturers say, the drink was created 400 years ago. The recipe is based on the ancient Philippine technology. Even before the Spanish conquistadors set foot on the island, locals enjoyed this amazing drink. In those ancient times when no one even knew that such civilization existed, coconut vodka cemented friendship of the Pacific tribes. It was a traditional aboriginal drink. The name of this vodka speaks for itself. Unlike most variations of vodka made of wheat or potato, this sort is made of coconut juice. Due to the tropical climate and rich volcanic soil, best coconut trees of the world grow in the Philippines. The fruits hang at the height of about nine meters, but the locals are used to collecting them every morning and preparing for fermentation and distillation. When the coconut nectar gets hard, the process of multiple purification follows. After that, the liquid is mixed with water, filtered with special substance containing activated carbon. The carbon has pores large enough to magnet molecules of harmful substances. Thus, having undergone through this process of filtration, coconut vodka becomes a natural product. On their merchant ships, Filipino sailors brought the recipe in Mexico. Having changed it a little and added new components Mexicans invented tequila.
